Installation Details

Phoenix artist, Roy Wasson Valle, created this installation with one foot firmly planted in the here and now and the other in the fictional world of Crystal Burn, a place of the artist’s own creation where architecture and plant life play together. This otherwordly chandelier is both solid and translucent, fixed yet always moving. Rain Cloud Flower Bed draws viewers into this surreal, parallel universe with him. Watch the flower faces gently twist as they return your gaze, and imagine an alternate reality where the art watches us as we pass by.

Live the art. Love the place. The mission of Scottsdale Public Art is to serve as a leader in defining art in the public realm through creative place-making, signature cultural events, exhibitions, and installations — contributing to the community’s creative, cultural, and economic vitality.

The Office of Arts and Culture in Phoenix, Arizona, was established to create a more beautiful and vibrant city, and in 1986 set up a Public Art Program to allocate one percent of the city’s Capital Improvement Program to public art.

Public art displays are an expression of a city’s commitment to foster cultural and artistic identity. Peoria is proud of our diverse, relevant and accessible public art on display throughout our city.
